I was born in central Greece in 1972. I live in Athens since 1993 and I have been a licensed professional taxi driver ever since. I have been an exclusive taxi driver up to 1998 when I started cooperating with Athenian Travel Agencies, working under strict schedules and deadlines. In the Olympic Games of 2004, I served as the personal driver of the famous NBC journalist Brian Williams. Since then, I have been cooperating with many other tour sites and agencies, making guided tours in Athens and all around Greece mainland. Regarding my driving, I believe that safety comes first and I make sure that passengers feel comfortable, relaxed and enjoy a tour that can always be adjusted to their needs. As I always like to offer high-quality services, to evolve, and share my expertise with other people, I continuously enrich my knowledge of Greek history that I like so much. I am a friendly, pleasant personality and can discuss with my customers' aspects of contemporary life in Greece, traditions, and habits, to enhance a better understanding of Greek culture. I joined ToursByLocals to offer Athens tours and Greece tours at the mainland. I can guarantee you a memorable lifetime experience during your visit in Athens and Greece overall! I ensure you that after taking the tour, you will love Athens and Greece as much as I do! I am a professional licensed taxi driver for over 25 years in Athens city. I am a professional tour operator and travel agent in Athens-Greece authorized by the national Greek tourism organization. I had been trained by the American Embassy and was a private security driver for NBC American TV channel personnel at the Athens Olympic Games of 2004. I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside the historical monuments and museums. I will share with you my knowledge of history, and show you pictures of what you are about to see before you enter each site/museum.

My driving is safe, reliable, relaxed, (prof driver since 1993)using clean comfortable, a/c vehicle and be open to any question of yours.
Chris was great! He was professional, courteous, and taught us so much about the city. He picked my husband & I up right at the airport and dropped us off at our hotel after we were done - talk about door to door service! He took us to all the main attractions & even to some private spots the bigger bus tours can't get to. Highly recommend Chris as your guide for your next tour. You will not be disappointed!
Chris was excellent and well worth it. He took us around to many beautiful sites. I would highly recommend him.
Chris was incredibly responsive prior to the tour and made several adjustments to the tour once we got underway- even finding a local shoe store we wanted to visit! He was early to meet us at our cruise ship and showed us all of the must see places in Athens. We highly recommend taking this tour with chris!
